"Sit down!", there are plenty of chairs and round tables on this platform for fishing, but there are no parasols. The climate in the valley is very pleasant, not as hot and humid as the coastal cities outside, and the brutal sun is particularly mild at this time. Occasionally, a cool breeze blows, wrinkling the surface of the lake and cooling people's hearts.

Du Lin chose to sit down in a different place, there was a chair between his old man, the old man looked at him, smiled and shook his head, "In my impression, you are not such a well-behaved person!"

The old man did not hide that he had consulted Doolin's information, and he did not have any disdain for Doolin, which was the biggest difference between the Federation and the Empire. Strictly speaking, for many years, only those who could not survive the empire came to the "commercial alliance" of the time, which was like a place dedicated to the losers of society, and the only place where there was no nobility. The people here can be said to be "free people", the status of free people is lower than that of citizens, higher than slaves, in the eyes of the aristocracy free people and slaves are actually almost the same, that is, the untouchables in the mouth of the aristocracy.

No matter how many generations the old man's ancestors have ever been born of nobles, he naturally does not have the innate arrogance and pride of nobles, and he doesn't care about Durin's background at all, but values Durin's resume more. From a farmer's son to a young handsome man in the Minggai Empire, in addition to coincidence, it is more of Du Lin's own ability.

Some people, and many people, regard Durin's success as luck and the need for the situation to create heroes, but these people will never understand why they have no luck, why they are not the "chess pieces" who are pushed out of the front when the current situation is in demand, and can only secretly envy and envy some conspiracy theories that may exist but are more resentful to explain the coincidence of other people's success and the reasons for their own failure.

Du Lin smiled, thought for a moment, and replied, "You are an elder and an elder, aside from our respective achievements, what I respect is your age, experience and experience baptized by the years, nothing else!"

The old man also laughed, he pointed at Durin, "The way you compliment others is very special, but it sounds meaningful, is this saying that I am old?", after saying that, he couldn't help laughing, "It's the first time someone respects me because I'm old, not because I'm rich, or I have power, you're a very special person, Durin." You are different from many things in this world, and I am very curious, how can you see through so many things and find the right direction?"

There may be some things that Durin has done over the years that may seem like he was doing the wrong thing and choosing the wrong path at first, but no matter how he chose in the past, looking at his current achievements, you can see that those seemingly wrong choices are actually the most correct. It may not have been the first thing the situation needed, but the continued power of these choices affected the future, correcting what seemed like a possible mistake in the early stages of his choice.

And Duhring is very bold, not so conformist at first, the old man knows very well the strict hierarchy of the empire, Magus directly abolished classes after coming to power, but in the social system class still exists, perhaps not as obvious as in the past, but it exists after all. There is an invisible barrier between classes, and this barrier exists to prevent the small space on the top of the tower from being occupied by more people. In fact, the Federation is the same, but there are fewer ways to promote on the Empire's side, and the difficulty is higher.

But this young man was bold, broke down the barriers one after another in an unusual way, quickly completed the initial accumulation, and entered the upper class of the empire. Each of his choices played a crucial role in these processes, which was also the most curious part of the old man, a person can succeed many times in a row, but it is absolutely impossible not to fail once, it is obvious that Durin is an exception, he wants to know how Durin did it.

Everyone wants to succeed, and so does he.

Du Lin said in a humble tone before he said in a seemingly low-key, but actually very confident tone, "You want to know my secret?", the old man nodded, he said jokingly, "I can see through the long river of time, and see the future through the fog!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and Durin thought that he would laugh and say that he was talking nonsense, but the old man actually began to ponder. In fact, Durin also has a similar obstacle, that is, his continuous success, never failing, has made some people feel curious, and even have an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if what he did was right. Otherwise, how could he have been successful and never failed once? People longed for him to fail once to break the myth that he would never fail, and let him step down from some altar and return to the ordinary.

But at the same time, these people don't want him to fail, because as long as he doesn't fail, he is a beacon, his actions, his thoughts, tell people what the future holds, how to follow this trend.

This is also the reason why Maggs has been able to tolerate his nonsense many times, in addition to the fact that he is very capable and very thoughtful, so far, those seemingly nonsense things have not only not brought serious consequences, but have made Maggs have a feeling that he has entered a new world through a dark and narrow tunnel, and everything is suddenly clear.

His collusion with the Navy, whether as a businessman or as a New Party, is a big taboo. But Maggs let him go, because the navy gained a lot of benefits from colluding with Doolin and with merchants like Doolin. The Empire did not need to allocate a penny of military spending to the navy to maintain the navy's expenses, including updating equipment and a small number of military exercises, which alleviated the embarrassment of the empire's financial constraints.

It may seem that the Empire has completely lost contact with the Navy, but don't forget that the soldiers of the Imperial Navy are citizens of the Empire, their families are citizens of the Empire, they have lived in the Empire since childhood, even if there is an alienating atmosphere in the consciousness now, but in the event of a war, the Navy will still defend the Empire. Moreover, the military department and the navy have been in secret contact for some time, and since the turmoil in the west, the Ministry of Defense and several senior admirals of the navy have reached some ...... of opinion.

In the case of the special district of the city of Otis, because of Durin, Mags approved the special district as an independent administrative region of special significance, and the facts have also proved that the five special districts have solved a lot of troubles for the empire, not to mention the small troubles, the big ones such as tax and financial problems have made breakthroughs. The five special zones pay at least 2 billion star dollars in taxes every year, which was simply unimaginable in the past, and even Maggs was shocked.

The things he made seem absurd and nonsense, but they can always bring some change, bring some ideological change and progress, and this is the most important thing. Maggs watched him and hoped he would contribute more.

People are paying attention to him, believing in him, even with a hint of worship or fear, but he himself is not so clear. In Du Lin's view, he just did what he had to do, it's that simple, what he did was not a great thing for him, and decades of experience in the dream made him understand very clearly that this world is still too different from the world in the dream!

The old man pondered for a moment and asked, "You just said that you brought destruction and hope, what do you see here?", his tone gradually became serious, he would not really believe Durin's words, but at the same time there was a hint of concern.

The Federation is currently in its most important period, and if an accident occurs, it is very likely that the Federation will collapse. The juniors in the family seem to be very shrewd, but most of them have not experienced some storms and waves, and it is difficult to take his place in the future. Peace does bring joy and joy, but it also makes some things stupid!

Once something really happens, he is already old, and he may not last long, so what will happen to the Federation? What will happen to the family? What will happen to the cause that his ancestors have been fighting for for generations?

Almost all the speakers of the Federal Union Parliament face the same problem, they are too well-born, too high-status, and today's children are born with golden spoons. They may have their own successful careers, but these things are based on the principle that their elders are the speakers. They don't need to take a penny, and if they say that they have an idea to start a business, there will immediately be capitalists and consortia to invest in them, because their elders are the speakers. When it comes to some issues of principle, even if there are some minor differences, others can tolerate them, and even the law can bypass them, because their elders are the speakers.

If you have not experienced a life-and-death struggle, how can you be called a warrior of a hundred battles, and how can you inherit this heavy responsibility and shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the country?

Durin licked his lips, "Destruction, I saw destruction." The current false boom in the financial markets has laid the foundation for destruction, and it only takes one person to stand up and expose this false lie, and the economy of the Federation will collapse!"

The old man nodded noncommittally, "Go on!"

"I know that the Federation is currently committed to building the strongest economic empire in the world, and if we want the Federation Shield to become the mainstream international settlement currency, we must create the appearance that the Federation is extremely strong in terms of financial economy. Only when others recognize that the federation can support global trade and financial circulation within the international financial system will the federal shield become the international settlement currency. ”

"But have you noticed? The federal government, including the federal capitalists, is so eager that buildings without foundations will fall down if they are built high with a gentle wind blow!"
